But as Hannah discovers during the course of her stay at the Meadow Run Inn, rumors and lies all too often mask the truth.

Letitia Shriver, a.k.a., "Tia," is a seer, but doesn't know it yet. Neither does she know her best friend, Erelah Inara, is an angel sent by God to help her overcome difficulties, and break strongholds in her life for a higher purpose. She won't be able to discern Erelah's origin until she admits that God is, and submits to His perfect will. Damaged in every way imaginable and haunted by her past, Tia has more than a few character flaws. She suppresses her emotions to avoid the pain that's so invasively attached to them, and to keep from dealing with any issues involved in confronting them. Tia has successfully evaded them all--except one; she can't elude anger, and it consumes her. Childhood friend, Adrian Grant has been in love with Tia since the very first moment he laid eyes on her, but because of her emotional detachment, she struggles to love him back. Despite that, he hopes to marry her someday, but it's going to take a man with a significant amount of patience to wait on Tia to change. Unfortunately, sometimes even the unusually patient ones eventually grow impatient, and she could be at risk of losing him forever. Tia has reached her breaking point and desperately wants change. When she discovers through an encounter with God, that the change she so desperately needs is righteousness, and only He can provide it, Tia begins a pursuit through eloquent writings. The Lord commends, and through a series of dreams and visions He begins to transform Tia's entire life from the inside out. She will no longer be able to suppress her emotions as God reveals the truth about her past, how it has affected her in the present, and how it threatens to ruin her future. Confronting the underlying issues behind her anger and exposing the root of her pain, may be too much for Tia to endure, but the more she resists, the more the Lord will insist. If she can find the strength to withstand, trust God's leading, and believe Him, she will find the righteousness she is so fervently pursuing, because it will be accounted to her.

What if your daughter's propensity for "feeling all the feels" is actually a good thing?Teens and tweens have a reputation for letting their emotions get the best of them, so much so that we often wonder if our families (and the world) wouldn't be better off if these young women we love could feel just a little less. But as Linda Barrick discovered, these emotions play an important role in the spiritual lives of young women, and, when they learn to direct them rightly, their feelings can be a powerful force for good in their lives, homes, and schools. That's why Linda and her daughter Jen wrote this devotional for teen girls. After Linda's daughter, Jen, was in a traumatic car accident, Jen was in many ways "frozen" at age fifteen and completely uninhibited. That means Jen still says what she's thinking and feeling almost all the time. Because of this Jen's mom, Linda, got a unique glimpse into the inner world of young women, and she realized that the emotions young teen girls feel are a beautiful gift. It gives them the ability, like Jen, to have an unhindered, best-friend relationship with their Heavenly Father. In this 30-day devotional for young teen girls, Jen Barrick, with the help of her mom, Linda Barrick, compiled her own real-life prayers with passages from Psalms in order to speak directly to the heart of young women. It will teach these teens and tweens how to cultivate a deep, emotional relationship with the God who loves them. Each day will:address a different feeling and examine it in light of God's truth from a short passage of Psalmsaffirm young women's feelings as a gift of God demonstrate how their emotions are meant to lead them closer to Godshow them how to make their faith stronger when they use God's Word to navigate their emotions
